How we can help you

Social care directors

Improve the consistency of high quality decision making among your social care teams by ensuring it is easy and simple for them to find expert guidance, key legislation, lessons from case law, best practice and latest research when and where they need it.

Community Care Inform Adults is designed to help frontline practitioners make confident decisions that will improve outcomes as well as stand up to the scrutiny of a court.

Social care managers

Our content is designed to be a ‘manager on the computer’ and those social workers, OTs and support workers who use Community Care Inform regularly are more autonomous, confident and feel more supported when taking difficult decisions.

Community Care Inform provides practitioners with practice guidance from experts in the field, tools and theories demonstrated in practice to improve skills and comprehensive legal guidance tailored to social work practice.

All this is available 24 hours a day no matter where they are or what they are doing. This frees up manager time and helps to improve outcomes.

Team managers also have access to dedicated tools designed to help both group and individual supervision and facilitate team training sessions.
